I was after a few more images of the Air New Zealand Dreamliner for an eBook I am producing, so I spent the morning at the Mound and was not disappointed.
Apart from a close up look at ZK-NZE taxiing on Charlie for a Runway 34R departure, Air India's VT-ANQ and Jetstar's VH-VKH also operated services today. All
images taken from the Mound.



The black finish is so perfect you can see the reflection of the port wing and engine on the fuselage.

Sure love the AirNZ livery on that Dreamliner. First photo is my favourite.

VP-CFP taxiing at Wagga, under overcast skys. Hope it is easily spotted at Bankstown and the weather is better in Sydney.

A great day to not be at work!

[Jaryd stock]

I heard one Pilot say, after being told of windsheer by ATC : Giddyup!

[Rowan McKeever]

Grahame - I wonder if the A310 you noted in the 'noteworthy movements only' thread is what I saw parked at the Fairbairn apron in Canberra this evening? Was there when I drove past around 6pm.

[Zac M]

This one??? Should be in Sydney by now!

[Rowan McKeever]

That looks like the one Zac! Looks better 'up close' than it did from Pialligo Ave!
